What private user data is TikTok sharing with the Chinese government that Facebook (an American company, mind you) hasn't been caught sharing with the Russian government?

The old fart can't even remember he won a Grammy for best rock song in 2011. Not sure if Neil Young is being purposely deceptive to single out the MacBook Pro or if he is truly clueless that most PC motherboards and especially laptops are even wo…

The idea of buying a dumb TV and using only external devices for content is good but it may not help in this case. The TV still has the responsibility to decode the HDR10+ or Dolby Vision dynamic metadata, apply the relevant transform, adjust the ba…

iOS 12.4.3 for the older devices that were abandoned by iOS 13 last month (such as iPhone 6) also released today. As of this moment there is no information about its content.

Why tap an NFC tag as you leave or arrive when the Home app already has geofence automation rules? I don't have to do a hip check or anything to turn my lights on when I arrive because the rule already triggered as I turned into my driveway. I have …

The part about the automation rule applying to only one specific person (yourself) arriving is incorrect. My Home app is setup with two users (tap the little house icon in the upper left to get to the screen where you can invite other people to con…

Meanwhile, most if not all the other major U.S. ISPs don't even support Single Sign-In yet.

Since they already have people using the phone's camera to take a selfie, why not take a picture of the passport's first page as well and use some of that machine learning we keep hearing so much about to perform OCR and validate it? Besides, what …

Nest likes to pretend otherwise, but there are other smart thermostats on the market, and some of them are Homekit compatible. At this point I think Nest is holding out because Apple's terms and conditions for Homekit devices forbid something tha…

The only weather app worth paying for. If it says heavy rain starting in 5 minutes, it ain't wrong. I've noticed that Weather Channel's app has attempted to steal Dark Sky's thunder with rain notifications. I've also noticed that Weather Channel's …

Zero Sign-on's predecessor Single Sign-on has yet to see support from any of the major U.S. companies except for DirecTV. That significantly tempers my expectations for Zero Sign-on. Apple can do a fantastic job making things ridiculously easy for p…

Zero sign-in? Yet another great feature that few people will be able to use because the gatekeeper that is their local cable monopoly won't support it, just like single sign-in.

Why would anyone ask Steven Sinofsky's opinion about anything involving cross-platform? The epic cross-platform failure known as Windows 8 happened on his watch. Hey, let's design a new UI specifically for tablets, and then make that UI exactly the …

If Apple doesn't roll out APFS for spinning platters and Fusion drives soon then they might as well punt it to 10.14.
